This is a new one on us. In the USA, BP has issued a recall for petrol sold between August 13 and August 17 in the states of Illinois and Indiana.
Recalls for car-related problems are not uncommon, but we can’t remember a recall for petrol. Apparently a BP storage facility became contaminated and local drivers have been reporting problems with their cars – including one who apparently has incurred a $1,200 repair bill.
Bentley has announced details of its new Continental GT Speed, which develops 616 bhp and has a top speed of 205 mph.
Fitted with a new ZF eight-speed transmission, the GT Speed despatches the 0-62 mph sprint in 4.2 seconds and can reach 100 mph from a standing start in just 9.0 seconds. The chassis has been uprated with new springs, anti-roll bars and bushes, a lowered ride height (by 10mm front and rear) together with re-tuned dampers and steering.
Iconic British sports car maker, Trident has been working on something interesting. Next month at the Salon Prive, the Trident will show its all-new Iceni Grand Tourer. Just look at the first two images they released today. This new compact sports car looks great and we can’t wait to see it in person.
